Preventative Maintenance
The care and maintenance of guy cables and wire rope is critical. Download the following information from the Kobelco Factory. Check this information against your own crawler crane maintenance programmes.
Wire Rope
It is essential to maintain your wire ropes as the strands of the wire are under constant stress, strain and friction wear from rubbing against each other. The wire ropes passing through the drums and sheaves where a lot of stress and friction is caused should be inspected on a daily basis.

Guy Cables
Guy cable supports the boom, jib and lifting load. Because the cable is holding various weights such as self-weight of attachment and lifting loads, failure of guy cable runs the risk of causing serious incidents on a job site, for example, the boom and jib attachments failing and falling to the ground. Maintenance of guy cables is one of the significant factors for safe operation.
